Teri Hatcher has to be running a close second. Most of us would have first noticed her in The New Adventures of Superman which first came to our screens back in 1993! Yes, it really was that long ago! And, she seemed a natural choice for a ‘hot housewife’ when Desperate Housewives appeared.

She hit the headlines in 2006 when she told of being abused as a child, and helped with the conviction of her uncle on four counts child molestation after one of his later victims – a fourteen year old girl committed suicide. It’s a terrible shame she couldn’t have got him earlier – but having lived with someone who was abused as a child I understand the issue is often far from as simple as it looks. At least he had to face what he had done in the end – and thankfully he has since died in prison – so will never have the opportunity to do it again. Good for you Teri…!
